The Game
WWE & Motörhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time to play the game! Ha ha
It's all about the game and how you play it.
All about control and if you can take it.
All about your debt and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.
I am control, no way you can change me.
I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me.
I am the pain and I know you can't take me.
Look over your shoulder, ready to run.
Like a good little bitch, from a smoking gun.
I am the game and I make the rules.
So move on out here and die like a fool.
Try to figure out what my moods gonna be.
Come on over sucker, why don't you ask me?
Don't you forget that the price you can pay
Cause I am the game and I want to play...
It's time to play the game... hahaha
Time to play the game!
It's all about the game and how you play it.
It's all about control and if you can take it.
It's all about your debt and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.
I am the game, you don't wanna play me.
I am control, there's no way you can change me.
I am your debt, and you know you can't pay me.
I am your pain and I know you can't take me.
Play the game
Your gonna be the same
Your gonna change your name
Your gonna die in flames
Ha ha
Time to play the game!
It's time to play the game...
It's time to play the game...
It's time to play the game...
Time to play the game! Ha ha
The lyrics of WWE & Motörhead's song "The Game" depict a powerful and dominant persona that takes control of everything in its path. The main message of the song is that life is like a game, and it's crucial to know how to play it well. It's not only about playing well, but it's also about knowing how to handle control and pain. The game is also about how to deal with debt and paying it off. The persona in the lyrics claims to be the one in charge, and no one can change that. The chorus repeats that it's time to play the game, emphasizing the importance of playing it well.
The lyrics also suggest that the persona is a force to be reckoned with. They claim to be the game itself, and no one can play them. They wield control over everything and everyone, and they have the power to inflict pain on those who get in their way. The line "Look over your shoulder, ready to run/Like a good little bitch, from a smoking gun" implies that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to win, even if it means using violence. The persona is confident, and they challenge their opponents to try and figure out their next move, but warns them that the price they pay will be high.
